Spirit of the Season

The holiday season has picked up quickly and we are trying to hold on to ALL the memories. This season of life has proven to be a little more tough (especially trying to take pictures) due to school closing with covid, sports and activities delayed, sick kids, crazy toddlers, one tweenager, and a kid who goes with the flow a lot more than I wish he had to. He did get to see Santa at his latest baseball tourney! He loved playing for one of his dad’s old coaches and the coach loved seeing him pitch just like his dad did for him.  

Into it all. Including a wrapping paper holder!! 

Not necessarily yogurt season, but who’s judging?

These two were ALL ready to help decorate for Christmas. It’s a whole new experience this year since they are fully aware of the little breakable stuff, glittery stuff, and just basically anything and everything you don’t want them to touch. It was a full time job with this crew, but memory made. ✔️

New favorite toy. We use this to “talk to Santa”.

I love that Delaney and Sam Nolan are at an age that they understand this season of life is a little more full (of a lot of things). Going through life with quadruple the disciple, quadruple the noise, very little privacy, and shared attention can be tough I’m sure. Especially when you have siblings taking up so much energy at the exact same time. But I pray they also understand that it’s life full of an extreme amount of love, laughter and the best built-in-BFF that God wanted them to walk through this life with. It’s hard to realize in the moment (and they don’t get near the credit they deserve), but I felt the need to document that special part of them. They are amazing. I’m not sure how we got so lucky, but it’s just incredible how God has blessed us with these kids. *And maybe those super sticky kisses they get from their little siblings will be a treasured memory one day. 

The only “family” pic of the day. Sorry, Daddy.

At what age will this tradition end?? I can’t wait to find out!

Trees in our bedrooms! Pink for this girl.

Delaney and I have the best time picking out wrapping paper. This year we had to get multiple for each child. Everyone has a paper that matches their personality. :)  

Baseball season continues! My SN is playing for teams in Trussville, Springville, Birmingham, and Cullman! Can’t wait!! 

AND popsicle season never ends. We have tried to end it.  This is how he eats one. Strange!!
